Thrasher's Eager suspended 4 games

Armstrong is a yapper from what I have read, not saying he had it coming but I am for sure not saying Eager was without reason for it.

-1. This is the justification Lemiuex gave for the Draper hit. And Domi for the Niedermeyer hit.

A little different situation, Lemiuex's hit on Draper was a blindside, about 10 years ago what Eager did would be called extracurricular and Armstrong or one of his team mates would have dropped the gloves and there would have been a fight. I am not saying he deserved what happened, but what I am saying is you run your mouth enough in hockey, some players will take it you want to fight. This also shows how hypocritical the NHL is.

This is true. Armstrong is not a really innocent player here or anything its not like he suckered Marty St. Louis. Armstrong has a history of headhunting and running his mouth quite a bit and not dropping the gloves to back it up.

It doesn't justify a suckerpunch but I'm sure Eager was provoked, Armstrong will probably b more careful next time he's chirping

I wouldn't expect anything less. I hate ever sounding like a homer, but the Red Wings tend to get bent over when it comes to the league deciding anything.

Kostopoulos has his hearing, he'll get suspended I'm sure. I'm guessing 5.

A bigger joke I think is that Lucic got only a small fine for what I think was a much worse sucker punch on Meyer.
